How long does it take a murder to show up on the news?

It won’t necessarily make it to the news. There’s a lot of variables to consider and more information is needed.

US news doesn’t tend to cover international murders unless an attractive blond American girl is killed in a foreign nation.
I’m sorry for your loss.

@The_Compassionate_Heretic; she was American, white, and a brunette. she fits, I think.

I can’t help there, but you have my sympathies.
You might consider contacting some media outlets to draw attention to the murder.

@The_Compassionate_Heretic; I think that her family needs comforting more.. but thank you.

@troubleinharlem

Probably awhile since the murder happened on foreign soil.
I’m sorry for the loss

Your friend died, and you’re saying things like “she fits, I think.”
Your whole approach is very strange to me.

If her family would like help in getting attention drawn to the case in the hopes of more work being done to solve it – which I don’t necessarily believe works – they may call news outlets themselves. But usually, it takes a while – a week or so until the media catches wind of it. When they do.

depending on the famousness of the victim or the killer, or the amount of victims or killers, immediately to never.

[nothing to see here].

maybe her hometown news might cover it if they find out about it, but it may not make the national news.

@asmonet ; well, I didn’t want to come across as snippy, so I put the “I think” there. And sorry if the question was strange… I’m kind of all over the place right now.
